So a wrench got thrown in my wheel choice in the form of the bad ass wheels below!!! Fuel makes some amazing wheels. :naughty:

A bonus is at 23 lbs, they are 5 lbs lighter than the Trohpies. I am stating to think their simplicity is more my style and becoming of my Jeep...

So it's between these two. I have to decide and order by Saturday because Americas Tire is having a great sale I don't want to miss...

One of my dirt biking buddys put the trophies on his 2 door JK. They look real good.

Thanks man, I think these are the ones... Unfortunately, they are not hub centric to the Jeep so I'll have to get adapters, but the size and offset are perfect...

So they don't come in the jeep bolt pattern? or the wheel hub bore is bigger than the wheel hub?

what happened to the 5-hole Countach-style wheels?

They are by AEV, and I have come to the conclusion that AEVs finishes are not up to my standards... :(
On the Wrangler forums, a lot of guys have complaints about this.

Well, that sucks. The search continues.

Yep, damn it... I am back to looking at simple, classics like these below. I have also realized that I do not like busy wheels.

I've noticed that most of your mods are pretty understated. Looking forward to seeing where you end up...

You are right, my near-arctic friend! Lol :favorites13:

Now and then I entertain the thought of not-so-understated (like the Trophy wheels), but I usually catch myself because it's just not for me...

What about Method Standards? I put them on my Ram, but I've seen a JK where I work with the same wheels. It looks good

Those are nice, I really like the Roosts too.
